Hawaii island is among 50 U.S. communities in the running for a $100,000 grant from SC Johnson in its Green Choices Recycling Challenge.

The challenge is a partnership between the company and Recyclebank, a recycling incentives program, in which communities in each state are encouraged to compete for the highest recycling participation rate during the six-month contest.

A community leaderboard will be maintained online at www.recyclebank.com/greenchoices , and the winning community will be named in January.
